Jordan has condemned the recent presence of Israeli lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir in Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, describing the visit as a breach of the historic status quo.
Haitham Abulfoul, a spokesman for the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, affirmed that the “entire area of the Mosque is a pure Muslim place of worship,” and that the “Jordanian Department of Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs is the sole body in charge of running the affairs of the Mosque and those who can visit it.”
“Provocative visits by extremists [to Al-Aqsa Mosque] are a violation of the existing historical and legal status quo and of international law,” Abulfoul said.
